There may be snow on the ground – and evidently more in the forecast – but there is a promise of Spring on my table, a sweet gift from my precious daughter. These are Long Life tulips from Bloomaker. They will be a gorgeous shade of pink and I am looking forward to seeing them bloom!
My daughter purchased one for me and one for herself as she, too, looks forward to Spring and planting all 32 varieties of vegetables and herbs that she has ordered! Her plans are to rent two large gardening plots in a local gardening co-op. My beautiful, artistic, athletic daughter has turned into a homesteading, cooking-everything-from-scratch goumet cook! She would love a farm on ten acres or more! Maybe that will be in the not too distant future.
In the meantime, we’ll watch our tulips grow and wait for Spring in the midst of an Iowa Winter…

I adore tulips, I think they must be my favourite flowers but I’ve never come across Long Life tulips before. I’ll be looking our for them over here. How sweet of your daughter to buy them for you. I too am ready for spring, Daffodils etc. are peeping through the ground just now and that is always a good sign.
